The Seattle Mom Prom is special night to celebrate and honor moms. A night to let loose on the dance floor, enjoy some drinks and
desserts, and ultimately help raise money for perinatal support. Our goal
is to celebrate and acknowledge all the hard work moms do, support a great
cause and have tons of FUN! It is the ultimate ladies night out!

There is FREE street parking. The easiest spots are usually West of Fremont Avenue. You will likely have to walk a little bit. One idea is to grab dinner at one of the area restaurants who have parking lots like Vif Wine bar or Uneeda Burger. Parking is free in the American Music store lot after 6pm. All lots are within about a block or so.

What should I wear? Do I have to dress up?

There is no dress code for Prom. Attendees are encouraged to wear
what’s comfortable for them. In past years ladies have worn everything from old
prom/bridesmaid dresses to jeans and t-shirts. A tiara will go with anything!

Will there be hair and make-up services available?

Yes! We will have these services available again this year - for free! Several stylists will be available on a first come first serve basis. They will start two hours before Prom and will be available for two hours during Prom.

Will corsages be available?

Unfortunately corsages will not be available this year.

Does this year’s Prom have a theme?

No. Some of the decorations will have an 80s feel, but there won't be a specific theme. The music will be a blend of classic stuff, as well as new stuff. Themes can sometimes discourage people from attending ("I want to go, but I don't have anything 80s to wear.") We don't want that! If you feel like doing a theme, get a group together and come as a decade. Or better yet, come dressed like you were going to your prom back in the day!

Will everyone get a tiara?

Yes! But, feel free to wear your own,
if you’ve got one!

Will there be a photographer at the Seattle Mom Prom? Should I
bring my camera?

There will be a photo backdrop and a photographer, as well as fun props. There will also be
a roving photographer to capture candid shots at the event. All photos will be
made available for download for free! We will post photos on SmugMug, as well
as on the Facebook page following the event. Please consider posting your
photos on the Facebook page, too! Check-out previous years' photos

What will there be to do at the Seattle Mom Prom?

The event will have a professional DJ (Yay Vinnie! http://djdiscovinnie.com/Welcome.html), dancing, desserts and drinks, hair and make-up primping by professionals, photos, prize drawings, a silent auction and other fun, including the Mom of the Year Award (see below). Oh, and bustin' a move with the best ladies! So. Much. Fun.

Will there be food and drinks?

A dessert/snack bar, non-alcoholic beverages and one drink ticket for wine/beer are included with each admission ticket. Additional drink tickets will be available for $5 each.

The Mom of the Year is selected by random drawing. Tickets are available for purchase of Prom for $5. The Mom of the Year receives a prize pack, a trophy and applause!

Is the Seattle Mom Prom for women only? Do I need to bring a date?

This is one prom that you don’t need a date to come to. The Seattle Mom
Prom is a celebration for women, so gather your girlfriends up and get ready
for a good time. If you REALLY want to bring a date, bring your mom!

I have an infant; can I bring my baby with me?

Yes. Babes-in-arms are welcome. While this is an adult-only event, if you have an infant and it’s easier to have your baby with you, feel free to bring your precious one along.

Who is behind the Seattle Mom Prom?

The Seattle Mom Prom was created by a local mom who wanted to celebrate
moms with all the ladies in her life while eating tasty treats and dancing her
booty off all to benefit a good cause!

How many do you expect to attend?

Support for the event has been strong, we’re expecting the event to be very well attended. Tickets are likely to sell-out. Last year over 325 women attended Prom.

Perinatal Support Washington (formerly Postpartum Support International (PSI) of Washington) is a non-profit
organization designed to support and educate women, families, and professionals
about Postpartum Mood Disorders (PPMD).

What is PPMD?

PPMD stands for pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders. 10-15% of all
women experience a significant mood disorder such as depression, anxiety,
obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, or rarely,
psychosis, at some point during the first year after pregnancy. PPMD’s are the
most common complication of a pregnancy. Fortunately, with early detection and
treatment, a full recovery is expected, however, without adequate treatment,
PPMD’s can last well past the baby’s first year. For more information on PPMD
and where to get help, please visit www.perinatalsupport.org
or call PSI of WA’s toll-free peer support line at 1-888-404-PPMD (7763).

What services do they offer?

Their core services include a toll-free telephone support line,
community referrals, support groups, and educational outreach to those in the
community.

What is Perinatal Support Washington’s involvement with the Seattle Mom Prom?

All proceeds from the Seattle Mom Prom will go to PS-WA to
provide services for Washington families.
